Abstract
An overview of current performance based methodologies utilized for design of tall buildings is presented. The reasons why common prescriptive code provisions are incapable of addressing the needs of tall building design engineers are explained. The performance objectives commonly associated with tall building design are identified and the evolution of current component-based performance objectives to a more rigorous and fully probabilistic approach to performance based design is discussed. Modeling and acceptance criteria associated with various performance based design guidelines are explained and special issues such as selection and scaling of ground motion records, soil-foundation-structure interaction issues, and seismic instrumentation and peer review needs are elaborated on.
